User-agent: Microsoft-MacOutlook/f.29.0.171205

Apache 2.4

Worker MPM

I am using this configuration for Worker MPM:

ServerLimit 90

StartServers 10

MaxRequestWorkers 2048

MinSpareThreads 25

MaxSpareThreads 75

ThreadsPerChild 25

</IfModule>

Apache has created 12 processes. Apaches memory consumption slowly increases but never goes down. Currently Apache is using 423M and the average Process size is 35.3M. When I look at the Apache access log I see an enormous number of requests coming across my terminal. Should I change my settings? I am concerned that at some point I am going to run out of memory.

Since I started writing this email Apache is now up to 426M and the average process size is at 35.5M.

Thanks,

Lance
